I have come to the conclusion that Adam's life is theatre and he is always on stage. I have come to the conclusion that it is the drama in life that excites me and keeps me coming back to this very talented man. I have learned a great lesson from the past two years, and I will never, never let any of Adam's future lovers into my thoughts and feelings. This has been more devastating than I can handle at this time in my life. I am too old for this sh*t.
Isn't it the other way round - talking about Adam's side of the equation here?. Isn't it that Adam's life as a performer has migrated down from the stage and into his real life? He has no chance to live a normal private life, he cannot clock out at 5 pm or ever for that matter. So he learned how to navigate that situation. Retain some privacy - but give at other times, play the media - withhold certain topics from the media, talk to fans - leave some questions unanswered.
But it also has become this game of chess. Adam makes a move, like giving SFGN the break-up info, then he waits for the reaction. Observes the media reaction, observes the fan reaction. Then he can make another move. And so on...
All the while, his private life continues in parallel to the chess game. Sometimes the game will mirror his life, sometimes it will deviate from it in bizarre ways, while claiming to represent it. Adam's public persona is on a stage, that is true, but that is not all of who he is. And it is not Adam's choice either, at least not as long as we keep watching. Adam is keeping it as real as I have ever seen any public figure do and he is very brave in doing so.
I am appreciative, thankful to be able to witness it and think about it. I feel neither right nor need to be in any way critical of the public persona he is showing us. The only topic I have to manage is my level of involvement. And that is at times a struggle.
But that is my issue, not his.
Great post Craazyforadam! Adam seems to have a real knack for balancing all the various aspects of his life and I admire him for that (amongst many other things!!)
ETA - cannot seem to get into visual mode to get my comment outside of the quote and bold the name?
